He died on Friday, but I didn't hear the news until Sunday. Sad...<P>Can you even imagine how different your childhood (or adulthood if you're like me) would have been in a world without Chuck Jones.<P>I can't.<P>If you're a fan of this comic, you have to be a fan of Chuck Jones. This comic probably wouldn't even exist if it weren't for this guy.<P>Man, this sucks...

A sad day for animation, indeed. His work is still my favorite in the field of animation. Thankfully, we had him for 89 great years. I plan to use his work someday to teach my children to view the world in the slightly off-center manner in which he intended.
